    sitemaps helps SE find your pages in your website quicker but SERP results are based on the content itself.

    You only have to submit your sitemap to Google once.

    do a search in Google site:yourwebsite.com and see how many pages you have indexed.

    Yup louie is exactly right.

    You are far better off optimizing your page content than spending more time on your google sitemap

    Hope this helps

    Google Sitemaps just a fake thing to lead webmasters astray ;). You need more incoming links to your site to force Google to crawl tons of pages from your site.
